857 works the same way. Anyone is welcome to join, but they need to recognize there is a chance they may not be able to travel.
Typically, we take everyone on the team to one regional, and the second regional (or in this case, the Championship) is reserved for those who go above and beyond everyone else. However, if we suddenly had 60 students join the team instead of our normal 15, there's no way we could afford to take that many and we would have to limit all event participation.
